Drinking to Mad About You

by Amy K. Bredemeyer
Okay, we're in week 2 of looking at some suggestions for drinking games for television shows. This is the most recent one that my husband and I have written, since we're working our way through the series (we have about 2 episodes left in season 6, then all of season 7). That being said, I can't promise they work for season 7, but our original list was much longer... sadly the major themes and characters change so much a lot of them became invalid.

Take 1 Drink:- Whenever Paul or Jamie is on the phone - Whenever we see British neighbor Maggie- Whenever they go to the local hangout Riff’s Restaurant (or we see Ursula elsewhere)- Whenever Paul is paranoid or neurotic- Whenever Paul says “that’s what I’m saying” or some variant thereof (2 drinks if someone else says it)- When they can’t get out of the house on time- Whenever Jamie talks about work- When we know Paul or Jamie is lying to the other- Whenever we recognize a guest star as another television show star

(Lisa Kudrow doesn't count here)
- Whenever they go A, B, or 1, 2 or some combination of those

Take 2 Drinks: - Whenever Jamie rummages through the kitchen cabinets.- Whenever the dog does something awesome (subjective, I know)- Whenever Mark talks about being a doctor
- Whenever the parents meddle in their lives- Whenever Murray chases the mouse- Whenever Sylvia disagrees with Jamie or gives her a hard time
- Whenever we see Mr. Wicker, the Super
- Whenever they get stuck doing someone else’s job
- Whenever they mention the slanted floor
